This is interesting and a good idea which hadn't occurred to me. What I will do is put it in the next release and see if it sinks or swims.

I am also looking at the attack starting at zero issue as I get time which while conceptually simple is difficult to implement in practice. You cannot simply start the attack at the current level as has been suggested as this changes the attack length and just sounds wrong to me. So what I am doing is compressing the attack range to start from the current level but keeping the attack length the same. This is a bit tricky to do but I am getting there.

Hi everybody, I'd like to suggest a new function, where an increase of the resonance setting also increases the VCA Level. Why this? If you raise the resonance of a filter like in the JX-3P, then the level of the signal below the cutoff frequency seems to become lower. People tend so say: "If I increase the resonance, then the sound is loosing bass" This is not a fault, but technically correct. The overall energy of the signal is always constant. If you put more energy in the frequencies around the resonance peak, then you have to take it away at the other frequencies - which are lower frequencies in a low pass filter. To avoid this "the sound is loosing bass"-effect some synth manufacturers implemented in their synth simply dual potentiometers for the resonance: One half controls the resonance, the other half of the potentiometer adds signal level to the VCA, when the resonance is increased. Most well known examples are the Roland TB303 and the Roland System 100. I'd like to have this for the JX-3P also. In fact I want that the effective control voltage for the VCA is reduced to 66% if resonance is at minimum and provided with 100% if the resonance is at maximum. Of course this would not be necessary if you only think of static settings in various tones. But I use the resonance control in realtime for climaxes, and controlling both parameters coordinated at the same time in a live situation is an overkill (not to speak, that I usually need one hand for playing the keyboard ;-) ). So, what do you think about this "System 100"-like behaviour? Florian ------------------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Links <*> To visit your group on the web, go to:
